Overview

Mission

Grace discipleship exists to connect weary souls with the gospel of grace by providing space for people to discover how to live out the deeper truths of the gospel in everyday life.

What it reported doing in 2025

One on one personal pastoral care and discipleship. We have developed a path to walk with indviduals for personal discipleship and coaching. These one-on-one meetings are designed to answer spiritual questions, process problems and explore biblical truths in a personal manner. This program is designed for anyone but has found root for young men 15-25 years old. There are many needs among this demographic including: pornography addiction, quarterly life crises and financial challenges. Our program combines personal bible teaching with pastor care. We called this discipleship care.so far we have seen this serving our community of pastors who are limited with time and overwhelmed by responsibilities with running their churches.
